When Life is going…it just keeps going

I know there was a time I was disciplined…

As you’ve probably noticed I have not posted since my first post. Which I guess can be said to be an upgrade from my previous blog where I didn’t post anything…so- one step in the right direction??

Either way this week has been simultaneously busy and a laze fest.(Does anyone relate??) I was scheduled to work- which I won’t pretend were many hours, but being an introvert sometimes normal social things really drain me-moreso when my stress is already at pretty high levels. But fun fact- my attempts to sleep or nap have been rough.

Anyways, while I still am exhausted I forced myself to go through some chapters of physics and review chapter 1. For the life of me, vector addition and subtraction eludes me. Which is kind of important so I need to get that down. Maybe it’s one of those concepts that’s really easy and I’m overthinking it. Whatever the case, it should be solved soon.

So I’ve been using this website that gives videos, slides, and a TON of practice problems, along with practice OAT/DAT problems for Chem, Physics and Ochem. PS. I’m paying 10 dollars a month(started this month) for access to this which is a lot more manageable than the hundreds of dollars some prep programs request(and have been more helpful…for me at least). Also if you just wanted to watch the videos I think that’s free and the OAT practice are free for a while as well. Just sayin’

What I started doing that might help my mind space is dividing OAT work per day per subject into little manila filing folders. If I can figure out pictures on this blogging platform, I will make sure to post it. Essentially I started writing down the subjects on the folders, looked at the chapters and questions, MADE SURE I WASN’T TAKING ON TOO MUCH, and wrote down a few days of work. It’s still in the trial and error format, but starting studying and not really having a plan can be kind of a pain…and then somehow youtube is on with me supposedly “planning” my study schedule. Again…I used to be super disciplined. -.-

Anyways- between my last days of summer “vacation” and working a good amount of hours(thank God…) I’ve been again, busy and not busy. (There has to be a word for it). Maybe I just need to spend one day, completely meaningfully, meant for me, to relax so I can reset- because I feel I’ve been racing around since May(between school, Chicago, school, OAT studying, Optometry applications- that have not been submitted yet, and OAT studying). If anyone has any tips to best reset and get that focus back I’d love to hear them.

I hope you are well and that you take care!
